A white peacock Barbara hand-raised from a chick in 2009. I took the above through the mesh on his enclosure.
Although Ben and Bonnie and a few others including myself came on Thursday night, the traditional start to the Memorial Weekend at The Ranch is Friday.

A morning stroll ‘going around’. The picture below is also a piece of the walk everyone takes once-twice-three times a day.

So many decorations.



Every year we have the traditional Friday night:

Everyone gathered for candles and songs.

Barukh ata Adonai Eloheinu, Melekh ha’olam, asher kid’shanu b’mitzvotav v’tzivanu l’hadlik ner shel Shabbat. Blessed are You, LORD our God, King of the universe, Who has sanctified us with His commandments and commanded us to light the Shabbat lamp.
